Belthagor's News

Posted by Belthagor - December 5th, 2024


When I was in HS I had turned 18 in 2008 and I walked around the city by myself. I had reached steinway street and saw a massage place. I walked in and I had a paper with me that said that in all honesty I don't know anything about anatomy or the body yet I have very strong hands and fingers and somewhat strong forearms. I had invented something which was not done in the US yet. Other countries may have had it and it may not have existed. I really don't know. Typist massage.


The owner asked me to demonstrate on their hand which I did for about 20 minutes. We waited a bit and I told her "Give it a minute." Followed by saying "Move your hand and fingers a bit." And she hired me.


I worked there for about a week in a fully appropriate way and started making money. I made a few hundred and later on if I'm not mistaken typist massage became illegal then it became legal again later.


I think computers should be used in a good way. As they increase our hand and forearm strength we can apply that towards improving the rest of us. They should not be used in a way that makes the side of the hand muscle shrink inwards and expand back to normal again in seconds and if you developed this and it's small stop using a pc and apply ice and rubbing alcohol for a month. Your hands will go back to normal. Past that use a computer consciously and responsibly.


Anyway since I'm a fan of saving money the only thing I can say is if you want to see the effect of this technique all you have to do is sit in a pose with legs crossed and press your soles all over ignoring the toes with your fingers rapidly with strength for an hour. Past that put on sneakers and walk somewhere. You feel incredibly strength in your muscles and tendons and veins after doing so in the foot. It can be applied towards other parts of the body such as arms and legs and chest and back. The only place it shouldn't be done is the stomach. You feel like you can move your extremities more; like you can walk further.


Later on there was an automated machine that did that but it's one large rubber bump that moves back and forward. It needs to be bulbs the size of the fingers that press in rhythm one after the other as you move it around the body. People would use it after lifting something heavy at the gym sometimes before.


I really don't know why I was able to improve physical health so much for various people even though I have absolutely no medical knowledge.


Anyway. Later on I was thinking of starting a business. There are many times when sneakers wear out and the new ones they produce don't fit well. You have to go to a store and try out various pairs but what if there were a website where you type in the model number and it shows newer ones that have the same interior shape so you can select them and get a pair of sneakers or shoes or boots delivered to your door that fit perfectly without causing discomfort while walking.


I spoke to my father about this business. The last thing I told him is "I may make millions. I may go broke."

Hello newgrounds.


I am having difficulty finding a song I don't remember the full lyrics of.

When I was young in New York during middle school we had an assignment. It was very simple because we're young and I thought I would explain something. "I like singing." A student wrote this. "I like dancing" ...another student.


I'm actually the person who originally wrote "I like trains" for the assignment.


A day passed and my father and the teacher had a very serious discussion about what I wrote. That it was very intelligent.


Yet he has more experience than I do. A few months passed and he told me "Son. It's not about the train. You should think about the destination." I replied "The train gets you there though." He was in deep thought about the whole thing but he smiled at me. I had my ability to hear and see well and it was one of the first things that I wrote because I was thinking. I wrote it in plain english.


Later on the ASDF movie came along and it's become popular as a from of entertainment. So I guess I could say that you're welcome for my creativity.


In all honesty it sounds different when heard in a film than written. I don't really know which is better.


I'm a bit embarrassed to write this because it sounds so darn inspirational.

When I was young I asked a friend of my parents' what her favorite color is. She answered me. Then I asked "Why do you like it?" She just stood there. This was all before I came to the US during my youth in Bulgaria in Bulgarian language.

When I was young my father walked in and asked me what the kindest thing I could say is.


I told them that it's very easy to say and said in Bulgarian language.. "Whether you say it to a woman because I'm male or to a family member it would be: "I love you more than I love myself." .."

When I was in Bulgaria my family installed heating. It was only in one room yet I said "This is good because we can stay in the same room during the daytime [on the weekends] and save money on our heating bill during winter months."


Now that I look back on it. It makes more sense to heat one room instead of heating three rooms.


(This was many years ago.)

When I was four I asked my father if we could go on TV. It was a very long time ago 1994 and very few people know about it. I doubt any place other than few people in Sofia would remember. I spoke although it was for a short time and I clearly remember one part which I can share.


It was the second time I had said it. "When something is newer people don't know how to think because they aren't used to it. They need more time to catch up to something older." I asked the show host to think of something new but not too new and share it with me that people have made as a species. He replied in Bulgarian language "Cars." I thought about cars for a bit and asked if they would need to make noise. He told me they have horns for preventing problems. I did not know much about the world so I said that this is a good thing because all the people in the area can hear sound.


For a small 30 second pause it seemed like something that required so little intellect to think about that he would eventually say this may mildly harm people's ears. He may have been about to and he may not have but I continued speaking.


I said that maybe this noise disciplines people. Many people listen to music for long periods of time then they hear the sound of the world which wakes them out of their coma. I continued by asking if people usually drive near their local area or far away and added that if there are many traffic problems in the area then maybe it may mean that stores aren't doing as well economically because people are thinking less. Maybe they improve with time.


We took a very long pause and my father spoke for a moment saying only one sentence "Nikoi ne moje da razbere kak dete misle." [No one can understand how a child thinks.]


The announcer said "Dimitar Rouynekov" as an end to the show.


I don't think there's anything wrong with this memory. I just wanted to share it. Very few people read my posts on the internet.. I get that. Yet it's something of value. Memories are precious and we can learn from them.


Some of the very few people watching it. Well one peron a few days later drove his car on the street while I was walking on the sidewalk and he honked his horn every 5 seconds for a minute then stopped even though it was the only car on the street which I heard as the car moved into the distance. Then he stopped. I write this last part just to say that we should be responsible and not careless.

When I was young one of our favorite stores replaced churros is with these big soft fresh baked cookies. I'm not the best at business but I asked how easy it is to find a box of cookies in nearly any store there is compared to how difficult it is to find churros is. As many of you are aware.. The same thing has happened recently.. Though we are in luck. Subway sells them now. :)


Post Scriptum.


On a positive note most of the cookie boxes have very hard cookies and I'm older now so I can say more. How difficult is it to find a cookie that is very soft and hot at the same time at an affordable price.


It's up to you.

When I was young I thought for a bit about the anatomy of the bag me and my parents carried laundry in to the laundromat.


I decided to place the whole bag in the machine with the opening of the bag forwards; open position and then pull the ends of the bag toward me. [Pulling the tips of the outer side of the bag with one hand while pushing the clothing inward.]


It's an easier way to do your laundry because you don't need to hold something heavy with one hand while placing individual clothes inside the machine. You can place all of them with one movement.


I really don't know how far this post will go. It works for most types of clothes unless you have a thick carpet inside or something like that.


Apologies for my horrible drawing skills. They will improve with time.

That: There are people from various countries and each of us are different. No two people are alike. I think it shows during one thing: Hot and cold weather.


I'm from Bulgaria and for many years global warming did not affect climate during summer. Our city despite being a city is very rural and had tall trees next to the sidewalk the whole path for miles.


I went during summer and it felt colder than the US so I've developed some cold resistance in winter.


As I've learned in Medical School: The body tries to stay the same which is called homeostasis. If you have both hot and cold climate moments this weakens the body towards the next season yet I never had that except in summer years later in both Bulgaria and the US.


I was sitting on my balcony and I saw a bunch of people pass by. Some had coats. Some men just wore thick sweatpants, a sweatshirt, and a hat with hands in the pockets.


Many men like cold weather and many don't. Many women like warm weather and some don't.


I personally could trot through the snow with proper attire for hours and never slip on ice. I sweat so much during summer that it reaches my mouth sometimes.


A person who walked out of our building; a close friend. I told them the short version of this yet he's from Spain which is warmer so I'm thinking when he comes back from work if I see him I should explain it in the comfort of our lobby. (Or in my apartment over some hot coffee.)


I only have one last thing to say: Do you think all the people from different origins could learn from each-other during the different extreme seasons? E.G. How to never slip on ice and for me how to handle the heat in the summer?


It's actually kind of embarrassing if I met a woman that I could have just for me the way she would look at me during the summer if we went to eat somewhere or did something together. A bit of a personal detail for me but anyway. I used to have to wipe sweat off my nose so it doesn't go in when I breathe which is mildly annoying yet does not reach the lungs. I've learned a bit how to solve that.


Post Scriptum: The thing I like about it is that I don't sweat. My hair stays dry and doesn't look like it's glued to my head.


Post Post Scriptum: I think there's one thing everyone can agree on. That whether you like cold or hot weather when it's cold everyone likes to turn the heat on and drink something hot in their apartment with family after a long time walking somewhere.


P.P.P.S. I guess I could write it here. When there's ice the easiest thing to do is adjust the way a person walks into a more downward motion than forwards; like stomping forward. This almost completely makes ice lose its ability to make you slip on it because no one can slip from a downward movement.
